Obituary - Garry Godfrey
Garry Godfrey
1946 - 2022
Garry Patrick Godfrey hit the road for the long haul on his birthday, June 27 at 76 years young. You can do the math. Hopefully it’s not too far of a trip as his drivers license expired that day. He is joining his so dearly beloved Sherri, who has been waiting far too long, 17 years. Waving bye for now are his four sons: Michael, Kelly, Sean (Jacquie) and Benjamin, who will now have to find their own ride home. Also remembering Garry are his granddaughters, Jaden and Sage; the Saskatoon crew, Maureen, Stan, Loris, Tim, Luke and Zach; Aunt Faline in Toronto; the Get Along Gang in Melville, Brent, Deanna, Chris and Megan as well as his brothers, Ross and Jack (Leah); nephews, James and Andrew; brother-in-law, Albert; nephews, Christopher, Ryan and Wayne and many numerous friends, acquaintances and fellow travellers. Garry’s mom and dad, Vivian and John as well as his sister, Joan, journeyed ahead of him. Garry was an avid motor sports fan; anything on wheels... in fact there’s still a motorcycle in the basement he forgot about. A very hardworking man, Garry lived always with humour and was generous to a fault. A Celebration of Garry’s life will be held at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 - 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Sunday, July 3, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you do something nice for somebody else unexpectedly and without explanation.

Traveling those endless stretches of highway, the sound of the rolling wheels and the radio for company, eating under the glow of florescent truck stop diner lights and those long roads home to you —all in service of providing a crucial lifeline of goods across this country. Kelly, Ben, Mike, Sean and family, your dad was such a humble, hardworking man, with an easy smile, a big rig and even bigger heart, and rich in so many ways. The love he shared with your mom is a rare thing that still burns bright in you. You carry them both with you in all that you do—in your wit and intelligence, in your creative and caring souls. With deepest sympathy and love, Katharine
